For the hot summer days I like to make a refreshing tea like this one. With fresh peaches, ginger, lemon, mint and a bit of agave for sweetness – it’s a great drink to relax outside with. It can also be dressed up with a couple shots of vodka or schnapps if you’re in the mood.

Ingredients:
1 ounce English breakfast tea leaves, or about 7 tea bags
2 peaches, pitted and chopped
1 2″ piece of ginger, grated
1 large lemon, sliced
4 tablespoons agave
6 sprigs fresh mint
1 quart of boiling water
7-8 cups ice cubesBring a quart of water to a boil and place in a heat safe pitcher. Add the lemon slices, ginger and tea and allow to steep for 8-10 minutes. In a blender mix up the peaches and agave until it’s a fine pulp. Stir the peaches and ice cubes into the pitcher, removing the tea (or tea bags). Allow the ice cubes to melt before serving, and garnish with mint. Enjoy!
